WHEN it was asserted that presi-
dent Hayes would listen to recon-
mendations for Office from congress
men, although he had made the
appointments several days before, the
following Indiana story was told: "a
rural justice of the peace, Squire Ed
munds, cousin of the senator from
Vermont, fourished amid the chills
and the fevers on the banks of the
Wabash. A case of great local inter
est was being tried before him with
out a jury. The attorney for the
plaintiff had spoken for two hours
and appeared as if just getting started
in his exordium. The defendants
counsel, with a huge roll of manu-
script, sat near him taking page on
page Of notes. The court room was
crowded. As the hands of the clock
pointed to the hour of noon Squire
Edmunds arose, motioned to the at
torneys and said: When the learned
counsel have concluded their able
argument they will find my decision
in this drawer; / wrote it out last
night. The court is going to din
ner."

The success of the Chicago com
pany which started to supply business
Offices with clean towels and soap for
a very moderate sum per week has
caused the formation of all sorts of
peculiar companies and business ven
lures. A firm of rat catchers is doing
such a prosperous business that it
has established very ornate carts,
which one sees in all parts of that town.
The latest enterprise is the Chicago
sidewalk association, which was in
corporated last week. The idea is to
make yearly contracts with store
keepers and owners of business blocks
in the business portion OF the city,
and in consideration of stated sum
to keep their sidewalks clean the
year round.

AN AMERICAN NPLIMSOLL NEEDED.

The white circle with the horizon
tai strip midway is familiar sight on
the load line of the British ships In
the stream opposite the city, showing
the freeboard, and placed there by an
act of parliament mainly carried by
the active efforts of Edward Plimsoll,
then a member of the British house of
commons.
This mark cannot be changed dur
ing voyage for which it was set, and
was made mandatory by the reckless
practice OF loading nearly to the gun
vale. whereby lives were endangered.
An American Plimson is needed.
Last year there were grave and ap-
parently reasonable complaints that
vessels from the Sound were over
loaded, and it is believed that the loss
OF some of the sixty lives off Cape
Flattery and vicinity last winter is in
directly chargeable to that unsafe
practice.
This season the same state of af-
fairs obtains.
Last Monday the American ship
Barring Brothers, captain Masters,
coal laden from Seattle, arrived at
San Francisco consigned to the Oregon
improvement company, so heavily
loaded as to strike the bar three or
four times, starting serious leak.
Her registered tonnage is 2,O9O
tons. This would, under ordinary
usage, entitle her to carry about $500
tons. She had on board 3,705 tons.
Stringent regulations are needed or
human life will be in deadly peril,
sacrificed to the greed of commercial
selfshness.

The remains of a prehistoric
 monster have been dug up near
 Denison. There were three jaw
 bones, three ribs and one vertibre. or section of the backbone. The Jaw-bones were fifteen feet in length and measured three feet in circum- ference. The ribs were evidently the smaller ones of the animal, but measured ten feet in length and nine inches in circumference. The vertibre measured, parallel with the spinal cord, was fourteen inches in length At right angles with the cord 1t measured sixteen inches, having one foot solid bone beside an opening for the spinal cord, five inches in diameter, while the upper and lateral projections of the organ two feet each, from the surface of the vertibrRe to their points.-Inter- Republics.

A Tucson dispatch of the 21st instant says the latest reports from the San Carlos reservation are not favorable to the peace and quiet of the savages there. On the contrary they are sullen and aggressive and the travellers passing through the vicinity say that they are certainly upon the point of an outbreak. The settlers near by share the same opinion and are leaving for the towns for safety. The dissatisfac- tion of the Apachcs is wide spread and the end of the trouble is not yet by any means.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-06-30

A City of Mexico dispatch of the 18th says the action of the govern ment in granting important con- sessions for the colonization of pub lie lands to Americans, is a pretext for an assault on the administra- ton by the organs of the church party. A prominent opposition journal takes a strong stand against the Diaz administration for grant ing concessions to Americans. Ii says: If foreigners are needed, let Europeans be welcomed, let Span iards, French, English and Germans come, but not Americans. To ad- init Yankees means Yankee absorp- tion, disappearance of the Mexican race in misery, and an increase in the number of stars on the hated American flag"

The Springer Stockman says: Complaint comes from the Teques- quite country that horse thieves are at work there, and are running off the best cow-horses.

The Albuquerque Citizen says the Apachcs now out on a rampage are among the most savage and cruel Indians on the continent. They are by nature mean, and treachery is marked in their faces. Those who have looked upon them in their native wilds know this. They prejudice the interests of all peaceable Indians in the west and have always given trouble. This should now be permanently settled ; they never will become civilized or peaceful.

The general manager of one ol the large northwest cattle compa- nies, under date of the 16th instant. writes to the Stock Grower as fol lows: "Please send me tally books. We have filled up all the old ones, and have hardly begun branding. Everybody throughout this section is branding at homo now, and by the time the general roundup be- gins will have all early calves branded. The calf crop will be large. The range is in splendid condition. We don't think we'll have to join the ''Trust" to be saved this year. Poco tiempo it may be we will. Trust managers are not in it for fun, nor through any mo- tives of philanthropy, but to make money and unless man stands in with the majority, i. e. the ring within a ring, better were it that the blizzards should sweep his herds from the face of the earth, or the quieksands of tho closest stream swallow them up."

 The Las Vegas Stock Grower says it is reported that Commis- sioner Colman thinks that he has found the center of infection for the cattle disease that has been rav- aging Chicago. The disease is be- lieved to have been communicated from the Elmhurst herd, bunch of pure bred cattle that were ex- posed to pleuro-pneumonia about eighteen months ago. This but il- illustrates, if the facts are as they are believed to be, the exceeding contagiousness as we'll as tenacity Of pieuro-pneumOnia.

The following telegram from a
 town in Michigan details circum-
 stances which seem highly improb-
 able in this country in this age:
 "Last fall Mrs. Albert Brooks, of Jumata, Tuseola county, went to
 Denver to take possession of$SO,OOO in cash and real estate left her, she said by an. uncle. She reached
 Denver safely, received the money and made arrangements for the management of the property. Since that time nothing has been heard of the woman, and several weeks ago Brooks went west to unrayel the mystery. He has returned and reports that no clue was found to the missing woman and that he had placed the matter in the hands of detectives. A sister ot Mrs. Brooks, who also received $S0,000 from her uncle, has put $10,0O0 in the hands of Denver officers to be used in finding her sister. Since Mir. Brooks returned he received a letter from his wife, mailed at Boston, but en- dorsed by the post office authorities as having been forwarded from Cal- ifornia for mailing. The letter is a plea for help. It says that Mrs. Brooks is held captive by gang of men who have received $2O,OOO of her money and are determined to have it all. The woman's cap- tors tortured her in every conceiva- ble way. Last week Denver de- tective at work upon the case wired Brooks that he had discovered the building in which Mrs. Brooks is but had not been able to communicate with her."

The Stock Grower thinks there is an epidemic of horse stealing all over the southwest. Whenever a horsethief is overtaken let justice be meted out to him at once. lie is an enemy of human kind and de- serves death.
